I absolutely love Halloween so it was a prime excuse to do something very creative on my beautiful daughter, Alisha.

I am really enjoying writing my columns for the Journal magazine. Laura Stuart-Cooke has breathed new life into this glossy, high-end Lincolnshire magazine and it is jam-packed full of great articles, including Charlotte Hays' regular columns too. Charlotte is a Lincolnshire-based stylist and is set to launch new brand Stella&Alf with designer Paris Hodson. The Stella&Alf capsule collection - which will be made of natural fabrics in a neutral colour palette - will be available to buy online from www.stellaandalf.co.uk in early 2013.
Becca shimmering skin perfector - I have been a huge fan of this wonder product for a very long time. I have just purchased the new shade "Moonstone" and used to have "Opal." As my skin is naturally fair I personally prefer to add warmth to my skin and I find that Opal is actually better for this, Moonstone is infact a mixture of Pearl and Opal. I still love this product and love the packaging too, which comes with a great little pump which dispenses a small amount of product in your hand, which is all you need. This product smells great too and not only does it give a lovely pearlised, soft glow it has the added benefit of having a SPF 25. You can mix with your normal foundation if you wish or you can just add to the areas of your face which you want a bit of a sheen/highlight, which is very youthful and flattering, creating a lovely glow using light reflecting particles. I purchased my product from www.gorgeousshop.co.uk and was priced £26.40 for 50 ml. I will continue to use this product!
Bobbi Brown Long-wear even finish foundations £30 (30 ml), - As you may know I am a HUGE Bobbi Brown fan! I have just recently updated my kit (again!) with these foundations. I get through lots of bottles of foundation, and I do find that this foundation is the best as in ease of application, (you must prep the skin well and moisturise beforehand.) texture of the product and shades, also how long it lasts, as it promises 12 hours! Obviously, a product is going to last alot better if you prepare your skin and apply in light layers. I also recommend using a small amount of loose powder, just to ensure it lasts too. This is great as it gives the skin a lovely natural looking base and is light-weight. However, as this product is oil-free, I wouldn't recommend using it if you have dry skin. This product does exactly what it promises to do and is a staple in my make-up kit, great for Brides and also a great product for everyday wear. I like to apply this with a damp sponge and then blend in with my fingers or a Real Techniques buffing brush.
This was from a photoshoot which I did recently with the lovely Charlotte Hay from Stella and Alf. We went for a grungy/60's inspired look. For make-up I first applied a primer to keep the make-up on then added a vitamin enriched face base by Bobbi Brown. I then applied their new Long-wear even finish foundation in Porcelain and concealed underneath the eye area, then set with some loose powder. Next I defined the eyebrows using a Louise Young angled brush and Bobbi Brown eyeshadow. I then used a Long-wear cream eyeshadow and then applied a charcoal eyeshadow and encouraged creasing by applying vaseline over, I then elongated the eye by smudging out to create that lovely feline look, taking this underneath the eye too, using lots of gel liner and mascara too. I opted out of using blush and just contoured the cheeks with a little bronzer. I then finished by applying a Porcelain concealer over the lips to create a matte finish. Photo by Ellis Wood.

I recently did a photo-shoot with the lovely Charlotte Hay who is a Fashion stylist and we wanted a really edgy-60's inspired look. So I used Bobbi Brown foundation in Porcelain and then used lots of black eyeshadow mixed with vaseline, then added black gel liner and smudged really well to create a smokey eye. I then used Porcelain concealer on the lips! Photography by Ellis Wood.

Bride – Joanne Birtwhistle. Joanne wanted a natural make-up but wanted to define her beautiful eyes. Therefore, I used Bobbi Brown foundation, concealor and powder then defined her eyebrows. I then used Bobbi Brown eyeshadows and then applyed Shu Uemura false eyelashes. I finished by adding a pop of blush to her cheeks with shimmer brick on her cheekbones, I then applied a pale pink lip colour and pencil with a sheer lip gloss.
I have just recently been appointed as a Columnist for the Journal magazine, as Laura Stuart-Cooke has been made the Editor and I have had the pleasure of working with Laura before and I have also done her make-up. I will be writing about make-up/beauty for the fashion pages and the first article will be out in June so watch this space!
